The Bombs and The Bees [My Hero Vigilantes 72]

See, Koichi? You didn’t need to find Pop. She found you.

Correction: They found you.

And, here we go!

Just as Koichi was pondering his relationship with Pop Step, he gets attacked…by Pop Step! Or, should I say Queen Pop? As it was hinted in the last chapter, Pop did indeed become the host body of a new Queen Bee. Oh, no.

Rock. Oh! That’s why No. 6 calls himself that. It’s a music term to fit with Pop. That took me way longer to figure out than it should’ve. Anyway, I guess they’re about to double team Koichi. Well, no. I can see No. 6 hanging back while monologing. He’s gone through all the trouble of getting Pop Step, he’s gonna make sure she gets the job done. What job is that? Killing Koichi, I guess. No. 6 is a bit of a sadist, y’all. A definite a-hole through and through.

Okay, so what happens now? Can Koichi get through to the real Pop Step and defeat No. 6? HELL NO! It won’t be that easy. Koichi’s gonna need some help. Could Knuckleduster make an appearance soon? After all, he’s the only one who knows how to take down someone possessed by Queen Bee. There’s really no other way I can see things happening right now.

This was a good chapter. We see Koichi looking into his feelings for Pop and Pop under Queen Bee’s control. There really isn’t much else to talk about except I’m very much looking forward to No. 6 and Knuckleduster’s full backstory. Show us Ujiko and exactly how KD lost his Overclock quirk already! Maybe the manga-ka is saving that for near the end. And since the series is bi-weekly, I guess we’ll see it sometime in November; just in time for my favorite holiday…Deviled Egg Day! Mmm, I can taste the salty yolk already.
